Dpd's reported carbon emissions
In 2018, DPD reported total carbon emissions of approximately 997,569,000 kg CO2e. This data is cascaded from its parent company, DPD Dynamic Parcel Distribution GmbH & Co. KG, which is part of the larger corporate family under GeoPost SA. The emissions data for subsequent years, including 2019 and 2020, does not specify absolute emissions figures but provides emissions per parcel, indicating a trend towards measuring efficiency rather than total emissions. For 2019, the CO2 emissions per parcel were about 0.831 kg CO2e, while in 2020, this figure decreased to approximately 0.786 kg CO2e. This suggests a commitment to reducing emissions intensity, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed. DPD has not reported any Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data, nor have they outlined any specific climate pledges or reduction targets. The absence of such commitments may reflect a broader industry context where logistics companies are increasingly pressured to enhance sustainability practices. Overall, while DPD has made strides in improving emissions per parcel, the lack of comprehensive emissions data and formal reduction targets indicates an area for potential growth in their climate commitments.
